“…As shown in Table 4, compared with adolescents from Spain [28], Poland [29], Australia [30], and the United States [31], Mexicans of the same age have remarkably lower HDL-C levels. In contrast, adolescents from Native American tribes, such as the Navajo Indians [32]; mestizo populations of Latin American countries, such as Costa Rica [33] and Venezuela [34]; and some Asian populations [35] have HDL-C concentrations similar to those found in our study. These differences among populations suggest the influence of genetic factors on the circulating HDL-C.…”

“…These seemingly paradoxical findings agree with a small body of literature from LMICs showing that in absence of other cardiometabolic risk, low SES children are more likely to present with dyslipidaemia than high SES children. [38][39][40] A study of preschoolers in Venezuela found higher total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-c among low compared with high SES. 40 Furthermore, in a series of cross-sectional studies, Mendoza et al 38 39 showed that ( poorer) Venezuelan children from public schools not only had higher triglycerides and lower HDL-c than private school Venezuelan children, but that they also had a worse lipid profile (with less fatness) than age-matched US children.…”

Background Low socioeconomic status (SES) has been associated with higher risk of cardiometabolic diseases in developed societies, but investigation of SES and cardiometabolic risk in children in less economically developed populations is sparse. We aimed to examine associations among SES and cardiometabolic risk factors in Colombian children. Methods We used data from a population-based study of 1282 children aged 6–10 years from Bucaramanga, Colombia. SES was classified according to household wealth, living conditions and access to public utilities. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were measured at a clinic visit. Cardiometabolic risk factors were analysed continuously using linear regression and as binary outcomes—according to established paediatric cut points—using logistic regression to calculate OR and 95% CIs. Results Mean age of the children was 8.4 (SD 1.4) and 51.1% of the sample were boys. Odds of overweight/obesity, abdominal obesity and insulin resistance were greater among higher SES. Compared with the lowest SES stratum, children in the highest SES had higher odds of overweight/obesity (OR=3.25, 95% CI 1.89 to 5.57), abdominal obesity (OR=2.74, 95% CI 1.41 to 5.31) and insulin resistance (OR=2.60, 95% CI 1.81 to 3.71). In contrast, children in the highest SES had lower odds of hypertriglyceridaemia (triglycerides ≥90th centile; OR=0.28, 95% CI 0.14 to 0.54) and low (≤10th centile) high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (OR=0.35, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.78). Conclusions In Colombian children, SES is directly associated with obesity and insulin resistance, but inversely associated with dyslipidaemia (hypertriglyceridaemia and low HDL cholesterol). Our findings highlight the need to analyse cardiometabolic risk factors separately in children and to carefully consider a population's level of economic development when studying their social determinants of cardiometabolic disease.
